US 340 Kansas 1926 Road Sign Sticker: A Design Frozen in Time

A Fictional Emblem of the Open Road

This sticker presents a unique design, a playful imagining of what a U.S. Route sign might have looked like if a particular route had existed in a certain place and time. Specifically, it depicts a "US 340" road sign, but one that never actually existed in Kansas during the pivotal year of 1926.

Classic Road Sign Aesthetic

The artwork faithfully recreates the iconic look of the early U.S. Highway signs. The design adheres to the original specifications, utilizing the "police badge" or shield outline, characterized by its flat sides and rounded crown. The background is rendered in pristine white, a nod to the sign's hypothetical construction in either porcelain enamel or painted steel.

Black and White Typography

Contrasting boldly against the white backdrop is the black typography. The initials "US" are positioned at the top, a simple and direct indicator of the U.S. Highway System. Below, prominently displayed in large, bold black numerals, is "340." The numbers are centered, ensuring visual balance and easy readability, even at a distance. A black border, mirroring the sign's shape, frames the entire design, completing the classic, simple look of signage of that era.

Nostalgic Absence of Reflectivity

The design also acknowledges the historical context. There's no use of modern reflective sheeting in this design, which wasn't available at the time. This detail reinforces the sticker's authenticity to the 1926 period, when road signs relied solely on their design and location to convey their message.

A Symbol of Exploration and History

Ultimately, this sticker design is a thought experiment realized in visual form. It celebrates the spirit of the U.S. Highway System's inception while acknowledging the historical realities. The design speaks to a time when travel was less about speed and more about adventure and discovery on the open road.

Glossy kiss-cut vinyl stickers made for smooth, indoor surfaces — laptops, journals, mirrors, and other finished items. Crisp edges, vivid color, strong hold, and not waterproof.

What “kiss-cut” means: the blade cuts the vinyl layer into the exact shape while leaving the backing liner whole, so pieces separate cleanly and lift off the sheet without tearing. It’s the neatest way to produce shaped stickers and multi-piece sheets.

  • Material: reliable vinyl face with a permanent acrylic adhesive formulated for smooth, non-porous surfaces.
  • Finish: glossy surface that enhances contrast and depth without feeling overly reflective.
  • Printing: eco-solvent inks provide dense color and crisp detail for fine lines and gradients.
  • Use case: intended for indoor environments only — not waterproof. Not recommended for continuous exposure to moisture or dishwashing.
  • Application friendly: easy-peel backing and a liner that releases cleanly to help reduce bubbles and misfeeds during placement.

These stickers perform best on smooth, dust-free surfaces — think laptop lids, sealed notebooks, glass, mirrors, finished shelving and lockers. They’ll stick well where the surface is flat and clean; avoid rough wood, silicone, fabric, and heavily textured paint.

  1. Clean: remove dust and oils with a lint-free cloth. For stubborn grime, use a mild soap and water rinse; let the area dry completely.
  2. Align: peel a corner, position carefully, then press the center down first.
  3. Smooth: work outward from the center with a soft card or a thumb to push air out and ensure the edges set down firmly.

Tip: give the adhesive 24 hours to fully settle before heavy handling. These are not designed for outdoor or wet conditions.

  • Gently dust with a soft, dry cloth, moving from the center outward to avoid scratching the gloss.
  • For light marks, a barely damp microfiber will lift residue — blot, don’t scrub, and dry right away.
  • Avoid bleach, solvents, abrasive pads, and steam; moisture or harsh chemicals can lift edges and fade inks.

Reminder: these stickers are not waterproof. Keep them away from sinks, outdoor exposure, and dishwasher cycles to maintain adhesion and finish.

Sizes are measured across the sticker’s longest side. For example, a 3″ sticker is 3 inches across its largest dimension (height or width, depending on the shape).

The kiss-cut follows the sticker’s outline for a tidy border; complex shapes can show small variances, but the advertised measurement refers to the maximum edge-to-edge length.
